I've been busy so I'm late to the party... If my patreon sub is funding videos like these it's money well spent.

Conor Mow-Lowry

I'm looking forward to more new builds :D I often fish old furniture out of dumpsters, or 'rescue' it from thrift stores. I'm always torn between restore and... hey look, free lumber!

Michael Bennett

Richard really has some great ideas. Another British (Welsh) woodworker I like (and who sometimes uses the bench hook/shooting board trick) is Graham Blackburn. He's still kinda new to YT, but he seems familiar in some way. I can't place him. https://www.youtube.com/user/gjmunc

Thank you for your response and recommendation. I very much appreciate it.

Rex Krueger

You're far too kind. Thanks.

Rex Krueger

Maguire.

Rex Krueger

I regret that I found that video on my own...but I do read the forum!

Rex Krueger

I like Suizan saws a lot. I recommend a long dozuki. Mine is 9" or more. Longer saws clear the sawdust better. The 6" models are less useful and the cost difference is modest.

Rex Krueger

Didn't I just do that?

Rex Krueger

I've watched his whole bench series. (After I built the Joiners' Bench). Solid gold.

Rex Krueger

Richard's take on the shooting board really blew my mind.

Rex Krueger

I don't think so. I honestly don't enjoy furniture restoration at all. It's whole different skill set and I just want to build.

Rex Krueger

These things happen. I try to roll with it.

Rex Krueger

The links are in the video description. Just click through to youtube.

Rex Krueger

I will try hard to find it a home.

Rex Krueger

Awesome!

Boyce Rensberger

Hm. So the paying customers can't see the links on Patreon? Doesn't seem right.

Another great video, I love these deep dives “ under the covers” of this classic furniture.

John Morrison

i got a 6" Suizan Dozuki. Works fine, but i don't cut much fine stuff. I tend to cut larger stuff - and the Kataba saw is excellent for that - step up from a Ryoba

John Morrison

usually show when it gets to Youtube

Robert Bullock

Great. Love the history!

John Thomas

Thanks for the look at this furniture. The analysis was helpful. I am interested in more information about upholstered furniture. How the frame is structured to support the coverings.

I've always thought the daybed was made for someone suffering from excessive intestinal gas who needed to be inclined in the perfect position to completely expel any and all vapors.

Ah, my geek safe place - Rex's Furniture Forensics 👌🏻

Very interesting. Your explanations remind me of Robert Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Very intense with authority. If it was built today it would have pocket holes and screws with CNC decorations.

Otakar Schön

thank you, this was unexpected and really nice to see. I have listened to the Woodworking Talk Show recently so getting a new forensic video two days later was just increadible

LiraNuna

My favorite sub-series on your channel. The combination of history, woodworking and the detailed observation and analysis of other people's work is simply brilliant. Keep it up!

Todd Maurer

Great video.

Steve

Richard Who?

Dan Delie

All Japanese saws flex. If you want, Dozuki makes one with a metal backing. 6 inches deep about 35 bucks on amazon. Works great as a dove tale saw.

Kenneth Carlile

Now I know you're reading the forum, since that video you reference was posted in one of my threads!

Jennessa Lynam

Rex, I was wondering if you have any Recommendations on a decent inexpensive Dozuki Japanese saw? I already own a Ryoba Japanese saw but find that sometimes the blade flexes a bit too much when I don't want it to.

Knathaniel C

Tell me about its problems...

Aaron Sprague

Richard is really good I own all of his videos he sales on theenglishwoodworker.com

Michael Bennett

Great video. You made me check my clock. I thought I'd slept thru a day for a moment. I have been known to do that from time to time. I used to work in one of those modern furniture factories. We made solid wood unfinished flat-pack furniture kits. We sanded everything to at least 120-grit, back, and front. Hardly anything had a mortise & tenon and if it did, that joint was pre-assembled. I love doing furniture forensics on my own. I have an old chair that I had as a kid. Think... classic "comfy chair" that's kid-sized and has rockers. I will take it apart this winter, draw some blueprints, and make a few copies, complete with Naugahyde upholstery if I can find some. I've never seen a Nauga. They may be extinct. BTW, I've been watching the English woodworker for a number of years now. He's very entertaining and I always come away from his videos having learned something. Everyone seems to think a shooting board needs to be some fancy-schmancy jig when all you really need is a bench hook with a straight side and a square fence.

John Pankow

No complaints here!🙂

Conor Mow-Lowry

Do you think you'll restore one of these pieces sometime? Not an antique restoration, but a minimal functional restoration.

Richard C von Brecht

I just had the opposite happen. I spent the evening drafting a detailed email to a college on my tablet that I want him to see first thing next day. A couple of days later I pickup this table again, and the email is still sitting there. As it has been said "if you really want to mess something up, use a computer" So true.

Boyce Rensberger

Where is the link to the video you touted? You said you would put the link somewhere around here,

Matt Evans-Koch

Thank you Rex for another Furniture Forensics. It amazes me how something that is over 100 years old and still usable just gets tossed aside. Even a piece that was inexpensive in its day, if it has survived this long, deserves a second life for someone. Have a good weekend sir.

John Morrison

No complaints from Canada :-)

Dallas Hanson

Consider it a "happy little accident"! 😉

Rex Krueger

I realize that I just posted this on Friday instead of Saturday. After years, Patreon just changed the creator interface and it's way too easy to just hit "publish" now. I'll get it one of these days!
